Founded in 1994, we are one of Nigeria’s leading business law firms. We have an international outlook and an outstanding record of carrying out critical, innovative and complex work to the highest standards.

We are active on the ‘cutting edge’ of Nigerian law and legal practice, particularly in the fields of sales of businesses, financings denominated in hard currencies and tax and shipping disputes. 

We offer a wide range of services to business enterprises (whether controlled by private sector or by public sector actors) in respect of transactions, advisory work, regulatory work, litigation and arbitration. 

In each of these areas we handle corporate, financial, commercial (including shipping and petroleum), taxation, intellectual property, telecommunications and information technology law assignments.

Traditionally, our diverse clients have included upstream oil companies, financial institutions, producers of branded consumer goods and services and information technology and telecommunications companies.

More recently, both the Nigerian economy generally and our client lists have seen significant growth in the number of both local, regional and global participants in the transport, real estate development and food products sectors.

There are clients of many nationalities and every size in these and other sectors.  They range from foremost global multinational enterprises to a number of home-grown, ambitious fledglings.

We have and maintain numerous contacts in Nigerian business and government circles, and with law firms abroad.  Large, complex, critical and novel transactions and disputes feature regularly in our practice.
